Epi Pens in Parks?

[kaffinito]

Hi All,

I have a question for all of you. Are Epi pens allowed in the parks, or will I have trouble bringing mine in? I have a serious tree nut allergy and I have to have them. Last year when we went I didn't have them yet, but this year I do and I want to bring them with me just in case.

TIA
Karen

We had no problems bringing in our son's epipen. We carried it in the box, with the prescription taped on by the pharmacy. I just kept it in my backpack purse, showed it at the gate, no problem. This was in October.

You should have no problems bringing it in. As a medical necessity I don't know if they can forbid it anyway. While I don't carry an Epi-pen I do carry insulin syringes and never have a problem.

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback!

We had no problems taking in DD's epi pen last year. Just told the security guard up front.

No one has ever questioned or pointed out my epi pen. I always make sure that the pharmacy puts the sticker on the tube and not the box. I am paranoid that the TSA is going to confiscate it.

I usually have an epipen in my purse for my allergies and I don't even remember it most of the time. It has been through the TSA screening and Disney. I don't even tell the Disney Security people. Really, they are looking for guns and knives, not needles.

Thanks guys! I was worried - and now I'm not! Thanks again!

We have never had any issues taking epi-pens for our kids in the parks. You will find Disney is very allergy friendly compared to most parks.

anyone use an epi pen, there was a recent report of the needles breaking off/bending/jamming, or the wrong dose amount being released...
